Jedi Junkies

I agree with 2manynicknames that it is just sad how people devout their lives to star wars not realizing there's actually much more things happening in the real world then in the mystical galaxy that is star wars

Let me just qualify this statement by saying that I love the original star wars movies and that I have several star wars nerds as friends. That being said I have to say that the existence of this documentary makes me want to weep. The people in this movie say that they can admit to being certifiably insane because they are having fun. People, there's a world out there that's infinitely more complex and interesting than anything a sell-out of a filmmaker like George Lucas could ever create. Get a life!

Great movie . If you love starwars you'll love this.

And I thought that I used to be a big Star Wars fan. While the documentary is overall well done, the extremes to which some fans have gone to is unsettling to say the least. I don't know which is scarier, the LIFE ALTERING fortunes spent on every kind of Star Wars collectible or the people that have forever branded Star Wars images on their bodies. Collecting becomes an obsession and can be JUST like a drug. While I have made many friends through Star Wars conventions and fan groups and had some really good memories during that time, the obsession that is propegated by some of the members in the group is perhaps unhealthy. Yes, it could be worse than obsessing about a series of movies and unfortunately this is ALL some of these people have. Star Wars is fun and taken in the right context and inner sense of reality, a mental release for many and even healthy. However, it appears that the fanatical group is whom this movie was mostly made about. It was worth renting, just to remind myself that anything can be taken to extreme, especially Star Wars.

Junkies is good fun and surprisingly imaginative. It makes you almost want to be a Star Wars fan .. almost. I would recommend seeing this documentary.

I can't tell you how impressed I was with this film. Very cool. Totally not what I expected, but what a great story. The characters were wonderful!

I heard about this movie online and found it here on iTunes. I had no idea people would do such crazy things because of their love of Star Wars. I mean, I consider myself a Star Wars fan but my friend who watched with me isn't, and even he loved it. This movie is funny, part of it is even a little sexy (but not too much for kids, at all) and the end kinda brought a tear to my eye. I wasn't too sure what i was in for but I not only got my money's worth for a $2.99 rental I'm buying it so I can watch it again with my other Star Wars fan friends. Viva la Jedi Junkies!

I loved, loved this movie!!! It's a very funny look at some extreme Star Wars fans. And because of the footage of the women dressed as Slave Leia it's also very sexy. But more than that I found the film to be very sweet and respectful look at these fans. There's the guy who build a life size Millenium Falcon in his backyard. There's the group of fans called the NY Jedi who practice their lighsaber battles every days. Of course, there are some actors from the Star Wars movies interviewed. And lets not forget Olivia Munn from Attack of the Show. I thought the movie was very entertaining and very fun. Had a blast watching it. Highly recommended!!!
